"Arthur was a good boy, but he couldn't control his longing for his mother.Maybe I shouldn't have given him so many stories about the sea in the first place.That way he wouldn't keep taking risks and wanting to go to the deep sea all the time. ”Tom.
Kurui, the lighthouse keeper of Port Ci'en, was sitting on the couch with a cup of hot tea.He watched his son play on the carpet with the family's kitten.On either side of him, Merlin and Bruce sat there as guests."
But in reality, there is no Atlantis, and there are no undersea people, it is just little Arthur's fantasy."
Mr.
Tom smiled at Merlin, a smile of helplessness, and he lowered his head and explained, "A child of his age always likes to be cranky. ”"And his mother?"
Bruce asked in a low voice, and Tom stopped drinking tea, and the lighthouse keeper, who had a very poet-like temperament, smiled and said to Bruce gently, "Arthur's mother died in childbirth, and she left my life five years ago. ”"Do you mean that little Arthur is telling fairy tales that he heard?"
Merlin asked, and Tom nodded, as if he didn't want to say much about it.But Merlin, who had seen hope again, did not want to miss it, and he stared into Tom's eyes, and he said cautiously, "This boy can call the fish to help him."
I've seen it with my own eyes, and he can even control dangerous sharks and whales..."
Merlin sighed in relief, reaching down and taking off his sunglasses, he said, "It's a rare ability, and I don't think everyone in Maine has that ability."
And Mr.
Tom, I'm sorry I scammed your son's words, but I...
You also saw that I need help. ”"You, your eyes!
Is it magic?
”Tom was indeed a well-informed man, and he was not too surprised when he saw the abnormality of Merlin's eyes, and there was no fear in his eyes.He looked at Merlin, who nodded, which made Tom understand what Merlin meant.After a few seconds, Tom put down his teacup and shook his head, "I understand that being involved in these supernatural things as a mortal can always lead to bad consequences.But unfortunately, I can't help you, Mr.
Merlin, and you can see that I...
It's just an ordinary person who has experienced a little more. ”"But you've had at least those experiences."
Merlin said almost in a pleading tone, "Mr.
Tom, I am exhausted by what I have been through, and I have no hope of going back to the past, I just want to put my doom away and find a place to start my life again."
If you've experienced the same thing, please...
Please help me!
”"If you have any concerns or requests, please feel free to do so!"
Bruce also spoke, "I...
I will do my best to accommodate your request. ”Bruce and Merlin are friends who have experienced hardships together, and he is about to leave North America, and he hopes to see Merlin escape this terrible fate before he leaves.At least every day, there is no need to suppress the bad luck with that painful self-mutilation.The request of the two young men made Tom hesitate.After a few moments, Tom carried little Arthur back to his room, and when he walked out, he tilted his head to Merlin and Bruce, "Let's go out and talk." ”A few minutes later, under the lighthouse, near the edge of the reef near the sea, Tom, dressed in a trench coat, said to the two young men beside him, "Here, it was here that I found Arthur's mother five years ago."
She was seriously injured at the time, I saved her, left her to live in the lighthouse, and then we became friends, at first we were just attracted to each other, and then we fell in love...
After the sweetest time, they were forced to separate. ”The sea breeze blew Tom's face and his trench coat, Tom's eyes had a touch of pain that he couldn't let go, he took a deep breath, and said softly: "Yes, I have seen Atlanta use magic, I know that the people under Atlantis have sea warlocks who specialize in fighting with magic, I have seen those people manipulate the currents of the water, set off storms and tides, and the sea water is transformed into the most powerful weapon in their hands."
But unfortunately, that's all I know. ”"Do you have a way to contact those undersea people?"
Merlin looked at the rough sea in front of him and asked, "Or, can you tell me where I can find them?"
”Tom shook his head, he looked out at the endless sea in front of him, and he said, "No."
Five years ago, when the Undersea Man landed and forcibly took Atlanta, I should have died, because my lover saved me and my son at the cost of his own freedom.She didn't want us to be involved in the battle of the Seven Seas Kingdom, and she didn't leave any way to contact the people under the sea, but..."
Tom hesitated, he looked back at Merlin, looking at the sparks that danced in Merlin's eyes, he said, "I don't know if it's an illusion, in the past few years, I always feel that there are other creatures in the surrounding seas."
After graduating from university, I lived at the lighthouse, first doing research on sea life, and then I met Atlanta and became the lighthouse keeper here, so I know a lot about the marine life around me. ”"Mr.
Merlin, I can tell you that this area is not a habitat for sharks and whales, but they are here now.Do you understand what I mean?
”"Hmm."
Merlin nodded: "The food chain of all living beings in any environment should be stable, and such a large-scale ecological change must be driven by a force, you mean, in this sea area, there may be underwater people?"
”"Yes."
Tom nodded, and he said with a little concern, "There should be someone here who is from the same place as Atlanta, but I don't know what he or she is here for."
On the night Atlantana was taken away, my life was insignificant, and the only one I couldn't let go of was me and Atlanta's son, little Arthur.If the man came with malice, I would not be able to protect my son—" Tom paused, and then he turned his head to the cliff bay on the other side of the lighthouse, and said to Merlin, "I don't want to hide it from you, Mr.
Merlin.I've seen a figure leap off that cliff at midnight, and more than once, so if you want to find something to do with people at the bottom of the sea in this place, you should start there.But it's dangerous, not only because the cliff is 200 feet above the sea, but most importantly, I've seen the heavily armed undersea people...""
Their attitude towards us landers is really not friendly.""200 feet?"
Bruston shook his head and said to Merlin, "Jumping into the sea from 200 feet without any protection, even if you are lucky enough not to crash into the reef, you will drown because of the force of the impact and the undercurrent of the sea, this is not an adventure, this is looking for death, Merlin!"
Don't try it!
”"I know."
Merlin looked at the cliff bay behind the lighthouse, which seemed to have been cut by an invisible blade, and the light in his eyes danced, and he said, "But I have to try...
I've been away from home for almost 1 year, Bruce, and it's the first time I've been so close to real magic.I have to try, I have to try!
”"Then take this."

Tom pulled out a silver pendant from his trench coat pocket, which ended in the emblem of a delicate trident.He looked at the pendant, his eyes full of nostalgia for the past, and he said to Merlin, "This is one of the few things that Atlantna left Arthur, this is a creation from Atlantis, if there really are people there, then this thing may allow you to escape from his hostility." ”Tom took Merlin's hand, and like Merlin before him, he said to Merlin in a supplicating voice, "I beg you as a father, Mr.
Merlin.If you meet the undersea man, if he has good intentions, then please help me to ask...
Atlanta, Arthur's mother, whether, is she still alive...
And should I let Arthur continue to touch the sea...
I don't know, Arthur has talent, he's not like me, but I don't know if that's a good thing for him. ”"I'll ask."
Merlin took the pendant, and he nodded to Tom, "If I can survive, I'll definitely ask." ”After saying that, Merlin turned his head to look at Bruce again, and he said to Bruce with a worried face, "But before that, there is one more thing.I've got to get you away first, my friend. ”————————————————————— "I don't understand, you should let me accompany you, at least let me prepare on the cliff."
It's better to go with two people than to go alone, at least we can take care of each other. ”Bruce carries a backpack and a baseball cap, and behind him is a freighter that is about to set sail for Europe.Tom.
Growing up in the Port of Mercy, Curry knew the docks well, and it only took him 20 minutes to help Bruce find a boat.He also agreed with the captain he knew well, and asked Bruce to do odd jobs on the ship to get a ticket to Europe.Merlin put little Arthur around his neck and teased little Arthur while saying to Bruce, "I'm just afraid that you have this idea, so I have to send you away." ”"I know you treat me as a friend, Bruce, and I consider you a friend, so I don't want to see you put yourself in danger because of me.It's my business, my adventure, and you've heard Tom say that the Undersea People are real Supermen compared to us, and they're not friendly to the Landers. ”"Besides, if I really encounter danger, I can at least escape, if you are added, our hope of escaping is too slim.""
You're treating me like a burden!
It's hateful. ”Bruce gritted his teeth and punched Merlin in the chest, causing little Arthur on Merlin's shoulder to giggle.Bruce took out a piece of candy from his pocket, stuffed it into little Arthur's hand, then reached out and pulled the baseball cap, and he said to Merlin seriously: "Whether this can be done or not, keep it up, okay?"
I'll also help you find information about magic in Europe, which has an older history, and I'm sure I'll find out. ”"Come on, Bruce, are you afraid that I will kill myself in despair?"
Merlin took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and said to Bruce, "I've already had such terrible nightmares, what do you think in this world can break me?"
Stay connected, Bruce, and when you get back to North America, if I'm still alive...
Then let's drink together again!
”"What do you say!
People like you don't die so easily. ”Bruce reached out and patted Merlin on the shoulder, he shoved something into Merlin's hand, and said, "Live well!"
Wait for me to come back.If you really encounter trouble that can't be solved, just use this to find Ah Fu, and he will definitely help you.But...
Don't reveal my whereabouts, understand?
”Merlin looked down and saw a note with a phone number in his hand.He put the note away, looked at Bruce with clear eyes, he reached out to Bruce, and he said, "You too."
No matter where you are, no matter what happens to you, don't forget Bruce.
What did Wayne embark on this path for?
”"When the darkness tempts you, never forget who you are, I know you did it, Bruce, you were born to do great things, I can feel it."
Bruce shook Merlin's hand without hesitation, he looked at Merlin, there was emotion beating in his blue eyes, and he asked with a smile, "Do I think so highly of you in your heart?"
Let me ask you, what am I going to do if the darkness whispers to me?
”Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then give it a hard slap!"
”"Hahaha," the two young men laughed heartily, and a few minutes later, Merlin helped Bruce carry his luggage and escorted him to the boat.On the docks, Merlin took little Arthur's hand, and Tom stood beside him, waving goodbye to Bruce as he watched the ship take his first true best friend off the coast.The ship slowly moved away from Merlin's sight, and he withdrew his gaze, Merlin's last worries dispelled.He took a deep breath, looked back at Tom beside him, and said, "I don't want to wait, just tonight." ”"But until then...
Can you teach me to dive?
